Abstract

A contact finger (4) includes a connection member (5) and a contact member (6). The connection member is connected to one end of a cable, while the contact member (6) is intended for contact with a corresponding contact member (6) on a second contact finger (4). A transverse, ridge-shaped portion is provided at the front end portion of the contact member (6). The contact member (6) is moreover provided with a series of grooves (10) for improved contact efficiency.
A contact device according to the present invention includes a contact finger in accordance with the above.
